Hear from those who have experienced the power of smart crowdfunding. Your success story could be next
How would you recommend Russ and Arthur to a potential Investor?
Well, I would tell him to have a call with Russ or go to the site where it's located, so you can actually see what's happening in that environment. Past performance is indicative of future performance, and that's what Russ offers.
Joanie Renner
Investor
What gave you confidence to invest with Russ and Arthur?
I did my research and saw consistent performance across multiple projects. What stood out to me was their transparency — they’re upfront about risks, timelines, and expected returns. That’s rare. After seeing my first investment come full cycle successfully, I had zero hesitation reinvesting.
Michael Nguyen
Private Investor
What is your perspective on your investment with Arthur and Russ? Would you invest again?
The answer would be: absolutely. In fact, you know, I’m 58. If I had an opportunity like this when I was 40—and let’s say all I could afford was $100,000—and I put it in, then in two to three years I get my $100,000 back. Well, I can reinvest that again, right? And then, let’s say in five years, I get my 30% or 40% return. Well, maybe I’ll keep some of that—get a boat or whatever—but reinvest the rest. If you start doing that every two to three years over a 10-year period, the train of money coming toward you... what other investment out there is like that?

[ How It Works ]
How We Generate Investor Returns
Our proven investment process combines strategic real estate acquisition, operational excellence, and exit strategies that deliver consistent risk-adjusted returns.
1. Identify High-Growth Markets

We either reposition underperforming self-storage assets or develop premium ground-up facilities for long-term value.
3. Optimize Operations with REIT Partners
We engage top-tier REIT property managers to maximize occupancy, rental pricing, and margin efficiency.
4. Deliver Strong Returns
We realize gains through stabilized cash flow and asset appreciation, delivering IRRs up to 39% and annual returns up to 42%.

[ Performance ]
30 Years of Industry-Leading Self-Storage Returns
For three decades, self-storage has consistently outperformed all other commercial real estate sectors — even during recessions and pandemics. According to the NAREIT index (1994–2023), self-storage led the market with average total returns of 17.30%, outpacing Office, Industrial, Residential, and even Data Centers. YourSpace America leverages this resilient asset class with a disciplined investment strategy and expert development capabilities, delivering risk-adjusted returns, low delinquencies, and reliable growth to our investors. Self-storage facilities under our management remained cash flow-positive even when other sectors struggled, thanks to high margins, low operating costs, and consistent demand in high-density U.S. markets.
